Drawknife egghandles - Dennis where are you?

Quite some time back, I made a bid on a bunch of drawknife on E-bay, from the bunch this was the one I wanted and so I offered Dennis to get the rest at a good price.I have a lot of drawknife’s and tried different handles one of my favourites are the egg handles.Since this knife will be used for shaping, I thought the egg handles were just perfect for it.While I was playing I also made Dennis two sets, so he could get going when he got his, he was at my house last year to pick them up, these days we are many that are asking; Dennis where are you?.

Pictures:1. The drawknife with new handles.2. Before, a fun detail was the one old handle was made from a horn material.3. Turning eggs from recycled wood.4. Finish.5. Making Dennis’ handles.6. Tataaaa (he was happy).

mafe,,, man oh man is that draw knife sweet, i love the handles, my son just moved back to alaska and has gotten into wood work, he is making a log bed, and he bought a draw knife, but nothing like this, ....but yea, WHERE IS DENNIS, HE JUST DROPPED OUT OF SITE AND ITS MADE ME REALLY SAD…REALLY SAD…i hope he is ok…you find him mads, and you tell him we want him back…DENNIS….......WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be really backed up with your blog posts Mads. You did this when I was in Denmark if I remember correctly. That is a really nice drawknive you’ve rescued there. You don’t see many like that these days.

What a wonderful job you’ve done on restoring this lovely tool Mads! In the not too distant past I would have loved to hang this on the wall. Now I would love to actually use it! I just got my first draw knife. Hope I can do justice to it, though it will not be nearly as beautiful as this. Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully shaped handles for a beautifully shaped draw knife. I like that people used to think about aesthetics when they created tools. It gives more joy working with them. Great restoration on this one Mads.

ok mads, you have a mission to complete, pack your stuff, grab your pipe, and go out and find DENNIS,find HIM, HUNT HIM DOWN LIKE A DOG…you must find him and tell him there are people looking for him, that we miss him, tell him we want him back on lumberjocks…ok mads, this is your mission, this message will self destruct in one minute, lol…

Very nice restoration Mads. I see now that Record Lathe. I have missed Dennis and have wondered many time if he got sick of the rest of us or is having some problems or what. I hope you hear from him and will keep us LJ buddies posted.
